SUMMER IN THE CITY It makes me laugh typing ‘summer in the city’. We only have a week of sunshine each year and these photos were taken in that week. I live in hope and if summer does ever return to us again and you want a free activity to fill an afternoon; do check out the Serpentine Gallery… Read more →

I haven’t been to Blackpool since I was a little girl so I was excited when Eva received an invite to check out the new Poppycat show in the Nickelodeon Land at Blackpool Pleasure Beach. Throughout June 2014 Poppy will be appearing in her own shows, where little fans can join in on activities with lots of fun and big cuddles… Read more →

I was so excited about sharing this post that as soon as we got home yesterday, I began selecting and editing photos. Eva was invited to the Disney Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique on the 4th floor at Harrods. It was opened late last year and I can imagine was a big hit over Christmas. It was a very pink affair for my purple girl.… Read more →

Later added edit: this experience was the one of the best experiences of my life. I have always had an interest in wildlife and conservation, but this really sparked my interest in Lions and protecting them. I have since been researching and even though I did love it with greater knowledge, I wouldn’t advice walking or petting lions and I… Read more →

We have had a beautiful first week in South Africa, the second isn’t looking so fabulous with rain forecast for the rest of the week. Seems I have brought the rain along with me here as I am seeing the sunshine updates in the UK, just my luck! We went with Luke’s mum to visit the Voortrekker Monument situated in the Pretoria… Read more →

Thought I would share a few snaps taken on the weekend. Luke had some free cinema tickets for Free Birds in Brighton on Sunday morning. So we thought we would make a day of it. It was Eva’s first time watching a 3D movie too. Read more

I love nature and being outdoors – although nature doesn’t love me with my atrocious hay fever this year. I decided to look on the interweb for pretty nature spots in Surrey. I don’t know how I came across it, but about 40 minutes from where I live there is this pond with a sandy bank in Frensham Common.

I called up my little sister Lottie and asked if she would like to come over with her Basset Hound Barney for a little afternoon out. I let Eva’s nursery know she wasn’t coming in and off we went. Please note this is not a style post…I look like the dogs dinner

I have been putting off posting these. I could barely bring myself to look at them while sitting here shivering and chattering my teeth! Remind me again why I live in this country?! I posted the Bohemian Style outfit post earlier this week, so you may know that I recently returned home from a weeks holiday in Fuerteventura. It might look like I only wore the below Jarlo dress the whole holiday, but its because most of the photos I took were on the same day.

I have been so angry and disappointed with myself that I had no interest in the Oympics before the games started and was without any tickets. As soon as the opening ceremony ended I was engrossed, watching anything from volleyball to horse jumping to screaming at the tv for Mo. Lukes work colleague gave him two Olympic park tickets for last Saturday, so I at least wanted to walk around the place while the Paralympic was still on.

I will let you into a little secret of mine… I am a huge Harry Potter fan geek. After humming the theme tune to myself for the entire bank holiday weekend, Tuesday came along and we made our way over to Warner Brothers Leavesden for the Harry Potter studio tour. Read more →

Happy Easter y’all. We went to Bocketts Farm on Good Friday which is literally 5 minutes around the corner from where I live (Bookham in Surrey). I recommend going if you have little people, lots of things to do. They have a little bunny town, lots of farm animals, pony rides, huge playground, trampolines, tractor rides, bouncing pillow (booo, I wanted… Read more →

Yesterday I went to my friends hen day. she wanted to do something a little bit different, rather than the usual ‘go out and get as drunk as you possibly can’ hen party. so we went off to the Sanderson hotel for afternoon tea. The Sanderson is contemporary 5 star hotel, the décor is modern and the reception area has… Read more →
